Talk to Wulf Wild-Blood in Skaal Village. He will ask you to find his brother, Torkild. Torkild will appear randomly while wandering Solstheim. While speaking with him, he will turn into a werebear and you will be forced to kill him. Afterwards, search his body and take the letter to Wulf from him.

If you cannot find Torkild, there are eight places where he can appear. The one near Glacial Cave is probably the best choice, since the spawn point is close to the cave and you can fast travel there every so often and re-check.

It is possible Torkild will already be dead upon finding him (e.g. something else killed him before you were able to talk to him). This should not cause any problems with the quest, as you can still take the letter off his body. When talking with Wulf afterwards the dialogue will still be about him turning into a werebear and you having to kill him.

I met Wulf Wild-Blood, whose brother disappeared many years ago. Wulf believes he may have become a werebear, and warned me to keep an eye out for him.

Objective 10: Look for Wulf's brother Torkild

I met Wulf Wild-Blood, who told me about his brother Torkild running off many years ago. Wulf's worst fears of his brother proved true, unfortunately. I found Torkild wandering Solstheim, out of his mind. I killed him before he could hurt me, and should tell Wulf the sad news.

I told Wulf the sad story of his brother's final chapters, and he taught me how to fight better for setting his mind to rest.

Notes

Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the Radiant Quest system, and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.

Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.

Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.

If an entry is marked as "Finishes Quest" it means the quest disappears from the Active Quest list, but you may still receive new entries for that quest.

On the PC, it is possible to use the console to advance through the quest by entering setstage DLC2WB01 stage, where stage is the number of the stage you wish to complete. It is not possible to un-complete (i.e. go back) quest stages, but it is possible to clear all stages of the quest using resetquest DLC2WB01.
